<\/span><\/p>\n

Fundraising ideas<\/h2>\n

Clients care about pets, and see the importance of the work you do. Imagine if we can mobilize clients across NY to support veterinary care for animals in need.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”299eeac7-3716-451e-a2ee-5e2ec20fcebc” max_width=”1400px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Online Crowdfunding” image=”https:\/\/nysvms.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-04-123519-e1691167143336.jpg” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”46ee89d7-2c70-493a-a0c5-b7bca7fcf1de” background_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Crowdfunding is an online platform that allows you to raise money for a specific cause or project. We have set up PetFundr to help you create a campaign.<\/p>\n

Using Petfundr you can easily share your cause with your clients and other members of the community, and ask for donations.<\/p>\n

The Petfundr platform can also be used to support all the fundraising ideas below to make it easier for people to donate, and to save you the work of handling the money.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A paw-a-thon is a fun and engaging event that involves pets and people. It\u2019s similar to a walk-a-thon, but instead of walking, people have their pets run or walk beside them.<\/p>\n

You can set up a course or a route around your hospital or in a local park, and ask participants to gather pledges from their family and friends. You can offer prizes for the most pledges or the fastest pets, and even have vendors selling pet-related merchandise.<\/p>\n

By making a paw-a-thon a community event, you\u2019ll inspire people to bond with their pets and contribute to a good cause.<\/p>\n

When clients come in for appointments, you have a captive audience who care about animals as much as you do. Use this opportunity to spark their interest and encourage them to donate.<\/p>\n

Have a display near the front desk with pictures of pets and their stories.<\/p>\n

You can add a QR code linked to your PetFundr campaign.<\/p>\n

Another effective way to raise money is to make a holiday appeal to your clients. You can create a festive card or email and send it to your database, inviting them to make a donation in honor of their pets.<\/p>\n

You can also offer holiday-themed merchandise, like ornaments, calendars, or greeting cards, with a portion of the proceeds going to your regional pet care fund. You can even host a holiday-themed party at your hospital, complete with decorations, music, and refreshments, and ask for donations from attendees.<\/p>\n

This is a touching way of honoring pets that have passed away while also raising money for regional pet care.<\/p>\n

You can offer clients the option to make a contribution in memory of their pets and provide them with a personalized card or certificate.<\/p>\n
